Ajamu Baraka, National Organizer for the Black Alliance for Peace gives us his analysis of the situation in Kenosha. We are seeing a remarkable ripple effect since the shooting of unarmed Jacob Blake on Sunday. Since then we’ve seen heightened protests across the country and in Kenosha itself we saw Kyle Rittenhouse kill 2 people and injury a third on Tuesday night. We continue to learn more about the shooter Rittenhouse since he was charged with homicide. Rittenhouse’s social media presence is filled with him posing with weapons, posting “Blue Lives Matter,” and supporting Trump for president. Footage from the Des Moines, Iowa, rally on Jan. 30 shows Rittenhouse feet away from the president, in the front row, to the left of the podium.
